Alabama + Mine lyrics

ALABAMA

[Verse: Frank Ocean]

Yup, duplex in New Orleans east

I was writin' down everything

Things I would tell nobody

Some things I didn't even tell me

Sleepin' on my back, my body would wake up after me

My barber fresh out the penitentiary

That alcohol was stingin' me

My four cousins stayed with me, stayed with us

One was in the shower

My aunt in law come over to fuss and fight

So she get out in cutoffs and a wifebeater

Barefeet and bra-less, titties swingin'

She was seventeen then

Vaseline and Reebok classics

Weaves and baskets

Take the bully on the greenest grasses

His name was Renny, we was cool after

Matthew had some pairs of Air Maxes

Clarky had them road rashes

Lost your virgin on a air mattress

Texturizer, feelin' unnatural

This what I would do just to show you

That it's special now

[Outro: Frank Ocean, Sampha & Jazmine Sullivan]

What could I do to know you better than I do now?

What can I do to love you more than I do now?

What can I do to know you better?

What can I do to show my love?

What can I do to know you better?

What can I do? What can I do?

MINE

[Chorus]

How come the ecstasy always depresses me so?

Chemically, I don’t have no more new places to go

How come the ecstasy always depresses me so?

Chemically, I don’t have no more new places to go

How come the ecstasy always depresses me so?

Chemically, I don’t have no more new places to go

How come the ecstasy always depresses me so?

Chemically, I don’t have no more new places to go
